Jasper Roberson

Jasper Roberson (died 1873) was an American outlaw of the Wild West. In 1873, he and several of his drinking mates sat at a small cantina in Mexican Hat, Utah, where bartender Oscar Ortega illegally served them whiskey in a dry county as they gambled. They were annoyed when the seemingly-pleasant Buster Scruggs entered the cantina in search of a poker game and a drink, and Scruggs insulted the outlaws as subhuman and low-class. This caused Roberson to rise and reach for his gun, but Scruggs quickly drew his six-shooter and shot Roberson square in the forehead, killing him.
